Vol. 5 (2020): Entwicklung – Wie aus Prozessen Strukturen werden

Developmental processes on a small scale (cell growth, ontogenesis) and on a large scale (from the big bang to the universe) that lead to detectable structures: In many areas, astonishing developments are emerging! Be it hypotheses about the origin and creation of the Old Testament, the emergence of all life on this planet from a primordial cell, the emergence of cancer or the formation of human character in the course of ontogenesis. The corona pandemic also shows a typical developmental course.

This volume, edited by Joachim Funke and Michael Wink, examines these topics (and a few more) from the colorful perspective of a full university. Ten authors from the fields of medicine, the humanities, cultural and natural sciences discuss the topic of development from their respective perspectives in eight articles.
